GW decapitated

Someone thus far unknown, described by the NY Post as a "brazen and unholy vandal" knocked the head off the statue of George Washington inside the Cathedral of St. John the Divine on Amsterdam Avenue. To add insult to the injury, the desecrator stuffed a dollar bill in the headless neck. The figure on the bill also had its head removed. The three foot statue is part of a collection that represents 20 centuries of history since the birth of Jesus Christ. Washington stood for the 18th Century. A church staffer said removing the statue's head was not exactly a challenge. The stone was described as "fragile."
